Do you have to be online for the 3rd friend safari pokemon to show up? Vice versa?

The way it works is that the other person has to be online at the same time as you for your game to register their character in your in-game friends list. once they're registered fully and you see the third pokemon slot available, they no longer have to be online for you to find the third pokemon. And as for hidden abilities, I have been able to find and catch hidden ability pokemon without the person who's friend safari i'm in being online.

I see. Bumber. I was trying to get a chansey and couldnt. Though i did run into a shiny aipom so not to bad. Thanks for the reply

They can also pass it down without Ditto, but it's only like a 20% chance they do if the female has a non-HA.

It only works when breeding with a Ditto (I had forgotten about that part myself when I answered, though). I think it is something like 20% chance, so you're not completely wrong. To quote the Serebii page on the new breeding mechanics:

If the father has got the Hidden Ability, there is a small chance that the offspring will also have their Hidden Ability. However, this only works if you are breeding with a Ditto.

My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.
Banner 1 made by Light Venusaur, thanks ^_^

I was disappointed by how few options are available to your Pokemon, especially when considering how many potential poses they could've used between Amie and battles, plus the different facial expressions many of them have.

For Egg Moves researchers, from the looks of it, the Egg Moves follow the following criteria:
-All non-Kalos Pokémon get two new non-trivial Egg Moves.
-All Kalos Pokémon get around 8 moves, with two of the slots being devoted to moves that accessible through Level-Up(either the base Pokémon or it evolution), and one of them is devoted to TMs(again, either accessible to the base Pokémon or its evolution).
-Some of the old gen Pokémon get the similar Egg Move results as the above, provided that they didn't already complete the said slots.

I don't think there are exceptions to this, but I would like to hear at least one Pokémon that gained three Egg Moves.

This is Turtwig, he was the most under appreciatted starter in Diamond & Pearl. If you picked Turtwig as your starter, put this in your sig . Started by Dax-360

Delibird has three new egg moves, which are Spikes, Freeze Dry, and Destiny Bond. Spikes technically isn't a new move, since it used to get it as an event move back in G/S, but that was the only time.

Wasn't quite sure where to post this, but I thought this would be the best thread since it's more related to gameplay/navigation than to Lumiose City itself...does anyone else find the automatic speech boxes in Lumiose to be extremely annoying? They were cute and even a little informative the first time, but when I'm riding my bike around, it's quite difficult to see the sign of the store I'm looking for when somebody's unrelated comment is popping up over it. Not to mention riding around one of the plazas trying to hatch an Egg and seeing the guy say "Maybe it was Magenta Plaza and not Bleu?" over and over again. xD

I suppose it'll change when I get more accustomed to the city and don't have to ride around looking for a specific place, but at this point I'm just trying to avoid anybody on the street so my screen doesn't end up clogged. I do wish there was an option to turn it off, though, or that it was just restricted to the A Button like most conversations are.

So apparently, using Focus Energy in conjunction with either Super Luck, a Scope Lens, or a high crit rate move now gives you a 100% chance of getting a critical hit.

This could be fun for Pokemon like Kingdra and Hydreigon, as it means they can spam Draco Meteor with no downsides once they've used Focus Energy, plus the former has Sniper to make it even more painful.

That could actually be a somewhat viable strategy, at least for the Battle Maison. In the case of Sniper Kingdra, that would be especially fun. Focus Energy's effect doesn't go away as long as you stay in, right? Or am I remembering that wrong?
